American Women Outperform Men at 2018 Winter Olympics

Team USA’s women now own more medals than men at the Winter Olympics! The American women have tallied 12 of the 21 medals that the U.S. has won. And it gets better. When it comes to gold specifically, women have scored five of the eight gold medals won by the U.S. It seems all predictions about 2018 being the “year of the woman” are coming true, and despite the uphill battle women still fight against the patriarchy, moments like this show it’s our time to bask in some glory. #thefutureisfemale after all.

The last time U.S. women outperformed the men was during the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.
